Toyota had a great car that has lost appeal

By Joseph DeSimone written on 02-08-2016

My vehicle was delivered to me with an electrical system problem that took technicians 3 days to diagnose and repair. The front passenger door does not close properly and new I need to make an appointment for that. Seats are comfortable but the ride is very stiff and feels like a truck type vehicle. 6 months later, Toyota has not yet provided a solution to the problem with the Bluetooth based navigation. They selected the software provider which has worthless support and Toyota has stuck their head in the sand on this issue.

Nice Ride

By Richard Vosburgh written on 03-28-2016

I got out of a 2014 Chevy Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and I know what a truck like vehicle rides like. The 2016 Avalon I have rides quite smoothly and is very quiet. Acceleration is surprising for the engine size and amount of horsepower and the interior is pleasant on the eyes. The main display screen is good looking and displays actual album art in good quality. The seat is comfortable and very adjustable. Brakes are very capable and give good feedback as does the steering, the front wheel drive aspect takes some getting used to but it's not bad. The back seat is roomy and personable with A/C controls for passenger comfort. Overall I'm completely satisfied with the car. I wanted a Lexus but didn't want to travel three hours, round trip, to the dealership.

Is it all the hype?

Toyota is a great car dont get it wrong. But the 2016 Avalon is overpriced! For the price it should be easier to enter and exit, cant tell you the number of times my head has been banged, hard as i am entering it! The passenger front seat does not allow the seat to to raise low/high as the drivers side. When traveling in rain the windshield wipers are dangerously slow in clearing the windshield in a heavy downpour. Overpriced for the the benefits that are as important to me as the manufactuers stated benefits.

New Owner

By Bill Zitelli written on 04-22-2016

I am enjoying the new Avalon. Very nice quite ride. I don't use the ride adjustment button, mainly just stay in econo mode. Despite the 21mpg rating I am getting about 25mpg which I like. Entune stereo and Nav is not as good as I expected. The stereo is an upgrade but it doesn not have much depth to the sound. Comfortable. Adults who have ridden in the back have said there is plenty of leg room. I have less than 1000 miles so I can't say much about reliability but I have not had any issues. Was able to negotiate below the average Edmunds price for the vehicle.

Driving for nearly 30 years, my first new car!

By David written on 05-06-2016

After enjoying success in a new career, my employers encouraged me to splurge and get something new. I had my heart set on an Altima, as that is usually what I'll rent when I head out of town. I test drove a new 2015 Limited, and loved it, but with 0% financing on the 2016 models, despite a higher cost than the 2015, my touring came out with a lower monthly payment and had some features (Qi charging) that wasn't on the 2015 model. I just had to give up the seat cooler. It's a beautiful car, but inside, it's even better. I have no comparisons to what this is - I tell my friends it's not a car, it's a 268 horsepower leather appointed computer with a sunroof. With my keys in my pocket, the interior lights turn on when I walk up to it; the door opens when I pull on the handle, and it locks itself when I walk away. It's so quiet that I approached it after doing some shopping and noticed exhaust coming out the tailpipes (which are reminiscent of pipes on high end sports cars) but I couldn't hear it running. It handles, great acceleration - If you're into sports cars, fellas, you'll get your wish and make her happy too. Room for your tall grown children in the back. I'm a tall guy, fairly wide, and I find this thing a breeze to get into and out of (much easier than my truck). The trunk is big; I'm still learning how to use a navigation system and wishing it was android. Pandora, Slacker, iHeart radio... I sent my boss a text from the system and he laughed (As it was tagged "Sent from Toyota Avalon"). The stereo itself may just need some tweeking from me, as that is where I cite my only fault, but really, I guess I could always add in aftermarket speakers and amps.
